Step 4 - Go to paths and so on.
OK now go to paths and color in this layer. You can delete the path. Now what we want to do with this layer is give it a nice color. I chose C6C6C6. To color it go to layer/layer style/blending options/color overlay. Now once you have this I want you to duplicate this layer. You can press ctrl, alt and the arrow up to duplicate it. Then press the arrow down once to move it back into position. Now make the color of this 6F6F6F, later we will turn it into a gradient. Now go to edit/transform/scale and make the top layer fit into the first layer. You should have something like this.
